About This Colour

Bold, confident and built to impress

Dark Grey is one of the most striking finishes in the Daltex Resin Experts colour range. This rich, confident blend draws from deep charcoal and mid-grey aggregates, threaded through with subtle silver and lighter stone flecks that give the surface genuine depth and movement. Rather than reading as a flat, uniform grey, the finished surface has a natural complexity that keeps it looking premium in any light condition — bright sunshine or overcast skies.

As with all our resin bound surfaces, the colour within Dark Grey lives in the stone itself. There is no pigment, paint or coating to fade, chalk or peel over time. The aggregate is a naturally rounded and angular blend, installed at 15–18mm over a prepared MOT Type 3 open-graded sub-base to produce a surface that is fully SuDS compliant. Rainwater passes freely through the surface and into the ground below — no puddles, no standing water, and no requirement for additional drainage infrastructure on front driveways.

Dark Grey is a natural fit for contemporary homes with dark window frames, black or charcoal composite doors and grey or slate roof tiles. It also sits beautifully alongside traditional red brick — the contrast between the warm brick and the cool grey surface is a pairing Daltex Resin Experts install time and again across London and the South East, to consistently impressive results.

Why Dark Grey works so well

  • Rich, multi-tonal surface that reads differently in varying light
  • Striking contrast against red brick — a classic Daltex combination
  • Complements dark frames, black doors and slate or grey roof tiles
  • Fully SuDS compliant — meets front driveway planning requirements
  • Colour is locked in the stone — no fading, no peeling, no maintenance
  • Works equally well on driveways, patios, paths and commercial surfaces
